The Vice-Chancellor of Maasai Mara University Prof Mary Walingo has come out to address the corruption allegations levelled against her by Citizen TV through an investigative story dubbed 'The Mara heist'.
In a video that she shared on Facebook before the airing of the story, Prof Walingo admitted that indeed there were financial impropriety at the Narok based institution.
Ironically, she went ahead to appreciate Citizen TV for highlighting the corruption at the institution despite the fact that the story placed her at the centre of the graft.
"I would like to take this chance to thank Citizen TV for highlighting the damning heist at the Maasai Mara University. It helps in the daunting task that I have been undertaking to read the university of the deceptive and gluttonous individuals who have been looting from the university gofers for a while now.
"This continuous financial impropriety not only steals away the future of our children but also impairs the development of our institution. As a woman, a mother, a parent and the vice-chancellor of the greatest university in Africa; a key stakeholder in this institution in this institution in whose hands the future of thousands of children have been entrusted, I take this chance to applaud Citizen TV for bringing to light what I have been personally fighting for the longest time," Prof Walingo stated in a video shared on Maasai Mara University's Facebook page.
